LYRICS: ‘Long Way From Home’

I’m as far away as I can be
I find it is hard to breathe
When everyone I know is drowning deep
And it’s me that’s on the shore

I don’t have a magic brew
There’s nothing I can do but pray

Cos I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
And I’m a long way from home

Everyone I know is feeling bleak
They hide it, they say to me
This crimson tide will turn eventually
They don’t believe a word they say

And I’m wishing I could be
Someone they could lean on

But I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
And I’m a long way, I’m a long way from home

Some of us are broken and bereaved
They’re dying for certainty
Everyone is frightened underneath
And I can’t leave I can’t be there

Cos I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
And I’m a long way, I’m a long way
I’m a long way from home
